General manager Giuseppe Marotta says the Juventus squad is “difficult to improve” and “we’ll do our analysis after September 1”.
The Bianconeri have lost Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves this summer, with Federico Bernardeschi, Mattia De Sciglio and Douglas Costa among those coming in.
“It’s a stressful market, in general,” Marotta told JTV.
“As has emerged from several parties, there’s a desire to shorten this ordeal.

The Bianconeri have lost Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves this summer, with Federico Bernardeschi, Mattia De Sciglio and Douglas Costa among those coming in.
“It’s a stressful market, in general,” Marotta told JTV.
“As has emerged from several parties, there’s a desire to shorten this ordeal.
“What do we need? There are still 15 days to go, anything could happen. We’re calm and conscious of having a competitive squad for the competitions we’ll be participating in.
“We’ll see what happens over these next 15 days but there’ll be nothing fanciful.
“The most certain position? In goal, we’re very happy with who we have between the posts.
“As for the rest, shortening the transfer window would help, saying who will arrive is risky but it’s part of the game. We’ll do our analysis after September 1.
“There are also agents working on the market now, and players who want to change teams the first time they’re left out.
“It’s fair that it be shortened, but we also have to understand that this group, Juventus, is difficult to improve. We start the season without the icing on the cake [the Champions League] but having won the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia.
“It’s a very strong group.
“Is our cycle at an end? [People said] it ended after [Antonio] Conte’s departure, but over these six years we’ve proved that we have a winning model.
“We don’t buy the players the fanbase wants us to buy, our organisation is very valid and we go forward with that.
“The goal could be to close the transfer window when one of the important leagues begins. A lot of players don’t show up for training, there’s intolerance from those who don’t want to remain with their current clubs.
“Football is no longer about club symbols who spend 10 years in the same shirt, but we risk seeing spectacles which have nothing to do with football.
“Neymar? The release clause [€222m] seemed disproportionate to me, but if it had been €300m or €350m Paris Saint-Germain would have paid it.
“It’s part of the game, this is a market where the figures are huge even for medium quality players, because even we don’t know how a player is valued until someone is interested in him.”
Marotta also singled out Rodrigo Bentancur for praise, after the midfielder signed from Boca Juniors.
“He’s being underestimated because he’s young and doesn’t have a great CV, but he’s proving to be a talent and this season he can find the space to give himself a big profile.”
